2017-18 PAGE Fellows Selected, Blog Salon Announced

By Imagining America | September 08, 2017

Imagining America (IA) welcomes a new cohort of ten graduate students with a demonstrated commitment to publicly engaged scholarship and the cultural disciplines to the Publicly Active Graduate Education (PAGE) fellows program. The PAGE fellows begin their engagement by producing a blog salon around critical issues of social change and engaged scholarship, September 11-15, 2017.

Each year, PAGE fellows receive support from IA to attend the annual national conference where they represent an important graduate student presence. At the 2017 conference in Davis, California, fellows will hold a pre-conference summit on Wednesday, Oct. 11 and facilitate a session that will allow all conference attendees to hear PAGE fellows deliver brief talks on their publicly engaged scholarship.

Throughout their fellowship year, PAGE fellows continue to collaborate on art-making, teaching, writing, and research projects that align with IA’s mission.

About IA’s National PAGE ProgramCreated in 2003, the PAGE program is distinctive in that its agenda is set, almost exclusively, by graduate students. Present strategies to advance the PAGE program include developing a theoretical framework for publicly engaged graduate education; creating opportunities for mentorship and collaboration, both with peers and with advanced scholars; and researching and promoting professionalization and career pathways for engaged students.
